bodily beings //

series of pieces exhibited at Kunshal Brantebjerg, Nykøbing Sjælland, Denmark
does the body remain?
is the body in our clothing closet?

with ideas of how the body can be a catalyst of taking up space, Ida-Simone creates bodily beings. taking up space in society and space within what we wear. how the body carries the weight surrounding it, and in turn how that presence of weight can be felt.

with her background in both fashion design and ceramic sculpture, she combines these ideas with notions of fashion, clothing and dress, where the beings are created as worn material on the body. the hard garments also explore what a left body means and how a trace or a spirit can remain within the clothing, within our closets. is the trace felt?

the installation plays on the heaviness of life cycles and the weight of what we carry around with us.

the ceramic sculptures in the space, are questioning if the body is felt. if the weight is felt.

Texture based sculpture showing the inhibition of chronic body pain. A culmination of inhibitions I have felt throughout my life, an analysis of constraining factors and body pains and how the body all of a sudden cannot do what it is suppose to or could before. Yet a optimistic approach to the never ending pain. The texture of the textiles are mimiking and drawn from pain, bones, textures within the body. It reflects on positivity in the face of pain through colors. It depicts how I relate to my pain through an optimistic lens, that I carry because the inhibition will not subside. The sculpture focuses on the pain in the ankle area. The sense of losing control, feeling numb, stuck and caught in ones movement. A certain wobbly feeling apears around the ankles which limits walking. The sculpture allows people to feel the pain when stepping into it, without me giving an explanation. longlasting handcrafted techniques are mixed, such as weaving, machine knitting and hand knitting, only made out of reclaimed and repuposed materials, such as foam, cotton, organza, linen, thread and knitted yarns. an exploration of sensitivities.
